The world is full of sounds, great and grating. It is said that all emotions can be reflected by sounds and with that music. This is a world ruled by music, it is power. This power is not respect, it is not fame, nor is it riches, the power is through fear. The controllers of these powers, this fear, are called Musicians. But not anyone can be a Musician it is far more interesting than that.
The Musician is accompanied always by some object, some person, or animal. This partner is their Director. A Director plays host to a soul of what people only can describe as demons. Although the soul inside is completely neutral the new found power is usually used for evil. If a Director is destroyed, the soul will be set free and can from there be chosen to be kept, destroyed, or consumed by another Director. If consumed the Director who has benefited from the meal will increase in size and shape and generally look meaner, nastier. The Musician also benefits from the Director's consumption and becomes more powerful unlocking hidden abilities or furthering those they already know.
So what kind of power can a Musician wield with a Director? So long as they are in tune with their Instrument the powers are nearly limitless. Anything from energy ribbons to a shadow figure can be created simply by the sounds created through the Musician's Instrument. There are five types of instruments and five elements that these instruments can manipulate.
The five types of instruments are Wind, Brass, Percussion, Strings, and Vocals. The elements to choose from are Water, Wind, Fire, Earth, and Darkness. Each instrument type will control each element differently in its own way making Musicians that much more unpredictable when fighting them.
The Adagio Soldiers of the government often find themselves in battle against them. Their weapons actually use Directors in the guns and hum single notes to create energy balls to fire at high velocity. One could describe these as really cool versions of tuning forks. The other group inside the government is the Verismo, a group of Musicians seeking peace in the world rather than war. Even though they are fighting for the side of "good" they still are looked to as outcasts.
The world everyone lives in is pretty barren. The few places populated are large cities all guarded by walls from earlier wars. The creation of the motorized vehicle has allowed travel between Wall Cities to become much easier. The only real concern is running into a Musician along the way. Of course there are a few villages outside the cities. These are neutral places born out of previous battlefields. Most news of the Musicians comes from these towns.
